Where are the snow dens of yesteryear?

They probably melted.

ok I tried to look it up. what is a snow den?

They were all condemned by the city zoning committee and torn down to make way for the new Walmart

There’s a few retro units still inhabited in Alaska. If you look hard enough, know the right people, and own a GPS, you could probably find one or two in the Yukon Territory and possibly even Greenland.

I’d get a passport before heading there though. A parka would help too. And some cross-country skis might benefit you.

gemiwing > its belive its actually snowden… one word not two

From Urbandictionary:

A question posed by Yossarian in Joseph Heller’s Catch-22 to find out why so many people were working so hard to kill him.

This seemingly rhetorical question is what one asks when one feels that everyone else is asking stupid questions and one wants to join in and/or point out how obviously stupid their questions are. Or, merely, because one wants to find out why so many people are working so hard to kill oneself.
Yossarian was a collector of good questions and had used them to disrupt the educational sessions Clevinger had once conducted two nights a week in Captain Black’s intelligence tent with the corporal in eyeglasses who everybody knew was probably a subversive. Captain Black knew he was a subversive because he wore eyeglasses and used words like panacea and utopia, and because he disapproved of Adolf Hitler, who had done such a great job of combating unAmerican activities in Germany.

Yossarian attended the education sessions because he wanted to find out why so many people were working so hard to kill him. A handful of other men were also interested, and the questions were many and good when Clevinger and the subversive corporal finished and made the mistake of asking if there were any.

“Who is Spain?”

“Why is Hitler?”

“When is right?”

“Where was that stooped and mealy-colored old man I used to call poppa when the merry-go-round broke down?”

“How was Trump at Munich?”

“Hi-ho beriberi!”

and “Balls!” all rang out in rapid succession, and then there was Yossarian with the question that had no answer:

“Where are the Snowdens of yesteryear?”

@Nullo lurve for Heller!

and urban dictionary!

“Where are the snows of yesteryear? ” is a translation of a line from a medieval French poem by Francois Villon.

Mt. Snowden or Snowdonia is the highest mountain in Wales.

Yossarian was riffing on the two.

What is the OP’s question?

“Mais où sont les neiges d’antan?” Ici, sur mes champs and sur mon toit.

Lord Snowdon was once married to princess Margaret of the UK.

@gailcalled Can I come champs in you fields and on toit roof?

—Certainement, même s’ils ne sont pas les champs elysées. Apportes tes skis. Je viens de voir un renaud rouge. Milo l’a chassé loin.

Qu’est ce que ca voir dire la mot “renaud’? Je ne sait pas cette mot.

Milo was chasing a fox (le rénard) and not a french car. I was really afraid that the fox was going to attack Milo, but au contraire. Good catch.

Oui, d’accord.
